By The Kite Games
The podcast currently has 9 episodes available.
This episode is a bit different since we are not talking to one of the competing teams, but with the Surfr App that supports The Kite Games with some mounts that the teams can win.
We got to talk to Herbert who is the founder of the Surfr App and in this very interesting Talk we got to know quite a lot about the history, why he started the company, where they are at the moment, how they develop the app and algorithms and much more. We truly enjoyed talking to him and learned a lot on how much goes in to being able to deliver accurate and trustworthy measurements.

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls - we are back once again with another Team Talk.
This time with the current leaders of The Kite Games (kitegames.com) - The UK Kite Groms. How old can you be to still be called a grom? Well stay put to find out what the boys think about it.
A reminder, if you haven't seen or heard that last episode with team Surftown from Estonia, make sure to also check that one out where I talk to the amazing girls Trinn and Anne-Mai, or Wafi-Surf as they call themselves.
Guys, for sure if this is the first time you hear of these boys its not gonna be the last. Being only from 11 to 13 years old, having been kiting no more than at most 2,5 years they are already better than most of us dream to be.
It's amazing to listen to how natural it is for them to progress every time they are on the water, and how they push each other. They are having so much fun on the water, and The Kite Games are helping them to the fun and trying new stuff. We're of course super proud of that and to have them in the games

Welcome to Team Talk 2020 #4.
Today we had a very special guest on the show.
But first, if you haven't seen or heard that last episode with Jon from the team with the dangerous name - Team Liability - definitely check that one out as well.
Now, todays guest is Claudiu Barbura from another team with a very special name - They call themselves O.M.W.2.F.Y.B. - yea I know - try saying that 10 times in a row…
They were actually the first American team to sign up, taking The Kite Games to that part of the world as well. Claudiu really takes his kitesurfing seriously - which you can hear from the talk. He did this interview from the back of his car where he had slept all night because he and his team are up in the Gorge gathered to work on their missions for the Kite Games! How about that.
Claudiu want to challenge his kite-buddies from Canada; Loren, Yulin and Jan to form at team and join the Games.

In this episode number 2 we had not only 1 but 2 awesome guys from the team Kitesport Young Guns. It's so inspiring to talk to these youngsters. The team has members from the age of only 9 years old up to 18. It will be very interesting following them.
If you haven't seen or heard the previous Team Talk yet, I got to talk to Madis Põdra from Estonia and team #noworkteam. It was a really interesting talk so make sure you check that out too.
In this Team Talk we talked a bit about everything regarding the games, the team, what level they are right now and what missions they are pushing at the moment.
Kitesport Young Guns was actually the very first team to register and we are super happy for that! They want to challenge all youngsters out there; beginners as well as experienced riders, to take part of the games.
We don't really know how many of the missions they have done yet, they want to keep that a secret for now. Clearly they have something planned with that.
Hope you enjoy the show. See you in the next one!
